Yarn Bomb
I first heard about this form of public art a few years ago; referred by many different–yarn bombing, yarnbombing, graffiti knitting, guerrilla knitting, or yarnstorming. And I first encountered it on a trip to San Fransisco last summer (click here to see that post with pictures, but this is the first time I’ve seen anyContinue reading “Yarn Bomb”

City Highways = Ugliness
MBA: Highway Removal from Streetfilms on Vimeo. I came across this video this morning on Treehugger and it really struck a nerve with me. It’s in regards to highways cutting through cities: why we don’t need them and the destruction they leave in their wake. I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions that I am writing fromContinue reading “City Highways = Ugliness”

Employee Meal 3.30.11
I and another cook made a bunch of pizzas for staff lunch yesterday and today. I made a whole wheat barley crust and the other cook added a variety of topping; some with meat, some without meat, and one vegan. Anyhow they were so beautiful I thought I’d share a few photos. If you’d likeContinue reading “Employee Meal 3.30.11”

Spring…and the newness it brings
Amazing isn’t it? I think so. As I was walking the Mundo up the plank of gratefulness today I saw these shoots pushing up in front of the porch. They’re a type of day-lily that were in my front yard when I bought the house. Who knows how long they were here before I livedContinue reading “Spring…and the newness it brings”

Delicate Load
This is awesome…I came across it at this Pakistani website (click to see other pictures of things carried on bikes). I carry eggs relatively frequently when I grocery shop (a dozen or two at a time) but if my calculations are correct–if a flat of eggs hold the same amount in Pakistan as it doesContinue reading “Delicate Load”

Anyone Can Practice Yoga
It may come to a surprise to some that I practice Yoga (then again, maybe not)..I don’t do it regularly but sporadically. But when I do I often wonder why I don’t do it every day…it makes me feel good…physically and emotionally (especially when followed by meditation). It is, in fact, yoga and positive thoughtContinue reading “Anyone Can Practice Yoga”

That Sweet Sunny Spot
My pugs teach me things but they probably don’t know it. The sun has shifted with the seasons (even though it doesn’t feel like Spring) and it pours into a different window this time of year. My house is often chilly in the morning so they basked in the sun on the bare floor inContinue reading “That Sweet Sunny Spot”

Culinary Simplicity
Sometimes the simplest things seem to be the most satisfying…classic Croque Monsieur. “In cooking, as in all arts, simplicity is the sign of perfection.” Curnonsky (AKA Maurice Edmond Sailland)
